Advancing access is one of the ethical cornerstones of the health professions. Access includes access to oral health care services, educational opportunities, oral health education, healthy food, and community engagement, among other things that ultimately improve the quality of life and the wellbeing of a person. The purpose of this session is to discuss advancing access using a broad lens, aiming to bridge different perspectives to a shared objective: improving the quality of life for people and giving them tools in a way that improves their wellbeing and sense of belonging.

Learning Objectives:
